part of our range, but for lack of evidence this is only con- 

 jectural. 



Fagaceae 



1. Castanea pumila (L.) Mill. There are no specimens from 

 the range. The Philadelphia Club's catalog credits it to Glou- 

 cester, Salem, and Mercer Counties in New Jersey, and it is 

 recorded from Chester County, Pa. Beyond this nothing is 

 known of its range in our area. 



2. Castanea dentata (March) Borkh. Has the chestnut ever 

 been collected in the pine-barrens? Otherwise it is common 

 throughout our range. 



3. Quercus coccinea Marsh. The distribution of this species 

 given in general works indicates a wider distribution than our 

 four specimens show. They are all from near New York City. 

 This species is probably common throughout the region, but 

 specimens are lacking. 



4. Quercus triloba Michx. {Q. digitata of the manual). Our 

 only specimens are from Cedar Creek, N. J., and one marked 

 simply "Pine-barrens of New Jersey." It is credited to Long 

 Island, but the specimen on which this was based is the following: 



5. Quercus pagodaefolia (Ell.) Ashe. There is only a single 

 specimen of this oak from our range. West Hempstead, L. I., 

 is the only station known for it. Until recently it was not sup- 

 posed to grow north of Virginia, but collections at Nantucket 

 and the Long Island station given above have brought the tree 

 within our range. It may reasonably be expected to grow in the 

 intervening country between Long Island and Virginia and the 

 coastal part of New Jersey should contain this plant. 



6. Quercus Phellos L. With the exception of a specimen from 

 Tottenville (Bentley Manor), L. I., our specimens all come from 

 below Middlesex Co., N. J. Has this tree been found in the 

 latter county or from adjoining country in Mercer County? 

 Records are extant but no specimens to substantiate them. 



7. Quercus imhricaria Michx. The only specimen is from 

 Flushing, L. I., and looks as though it might have been taken 

 from a cultivated plant. The tree is entirely unknown on Long 

 Island except for this; and its only other stations in the range,
